Yes,
thank
you
thank
you
and
so
I've
invited
pastor
Gerald
to
join
me
here.
This
is
my
very
first
time
opening
our
meeting
in
prayer
and
as
the
granddaughter
of
a
Baptist
preacher
I
wanted
to
begin
by
going
back
to
my
roots,
my
own
Baptist
roots,
so
12th
Baptist
Church
has
been
my
family's
church
for
almost
a
hundred
years,
generations
of
my
family
were
married
at
twelfth
christened
at
twelfth
baptized,
at
twelfth
counseled,
at
12th
and
eulogized
at
twelfth
Baptists.
D
The
historic
12th
Baptist
Church
was
also
home
to
Reverend
Martin
Luther
King.
When
he
lived
in
Boston.
There
is
a
rich
history
of
this
beloved
Church
of
Roxbury.
So
it's
such
an
honor
for
me
to
bring
before
you
the
pastor
of
the
historic
12th
Baptist
Church,
the
Reverend
Arthur
Thomas
Gerald
June.
Now,
pastor
Gerald
was
born
here
in
Boston
as
a
teenager
in
the
1950s
he
came
under
the
influence
of
Reverend
Michael
Haynes.
He
graduated
from
the
English
high
school
and
went
on
to
Lincoln
University,
a
historically
black
college
before
transferring
to
Berkshire
Christian
College.
D
He
was
ordained
in
1976.
During
his
graduate
studies,
he
was
called
to
join
the
ministerial
team
at
12-under
Reverend
Haynes
Reverend
Gerald
is
an
educator
and
had
a
distinguished
career
at
Salem
State
University.
He
has
won
numerous
honors
in
the
community
and
in
the
academic
world,
including
an
honorary
Doctorate
degree.
D
But
for
me
in
my
house
we
will
serve
the
Lord
Reverend
Gerald
is
his
world
traveled,
but
he
has
never
forgotten
his
roots
in
our
community.
I
often
see
him
and
his
church
members
leading
peace
walks
in
my
neighborhood
and
I
always
feel
blessed
when
they
sing
Christmas
carols
on
my
street.
So
it
is
a
great
honor
to
have
him
before
us
today
to
open
the
meeting
with
prayer.
Thank
you
thank.
E
E
Certainly
I'm,
trying
to
truly
thankful.
I
can't
tell
you
everything
about
city,
councilor
Janie,
but
there's
something
that
I
love,
that
she
does
when
I
go
and
sing.
Christmas
carols
in
front
of
her
can
I
tell
I
like
to
eat
if
you
haven't
noticed,
but
she
makes
the
best
sweet,
potato
pies
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
when
I
go
sing,
the
Christmas
carols
in
front
of
our
house.
She
always
comes
out
with
a
warm
sweet
potato
pie
and
that's
that's
one
of
our
best
stops.
Oh.
E
Wow
I'm.
Sorry,
if
you
want
to
see
weather
come
to
12
Baptist
Church,
if
there's
any
left,
we'll
help
we'll
give
it
to
you
as
well.
Now,
let's
get
to
the
business
of
the
day,
and
let
me
invite
you
to
bow
your
heads
and
close
your
eyes
as
we
invoke
God's
presence
on
our
gathering
today,
eternal
God
and
every
father
on
this
day
that
you
have
made.
We
will
give
you
the
thanks
as
we
rejoice
and
are
glad
there
in
Lord.
E
E
So
the
people
of
the
city
of
Boston
will
be
the
benefactors
of
their
good
works
and
their
good
deeds.
Now
I
pray
that
you'll
bless
the
proceedings
and
the
business
of
this
day
to
your
honor
and
glory
for
thine
is
the
kingdom.
Nine?
Is
the
power

is
the
glory
for
ever
and
ever

without
end
to
the
glory
of
God?
Let

shout
it
out
so
that
everybody
in
Boston
can
hear
it
amen.
God

you.
Thank
you
very
much.

C
You,
madam
president,
as
you
know,
we
are
required
to
annually
reauthorize
the
not
to
exceed
amounts
for
departmental
revolving
funds.
Revolving
funds
are
authorized
under
Mass
General
law,
chapter
44,
section,
53,
E
and
a
half
revolving
funds
are
accounted
for
separately
are
accredited
only
by
the
departmental
receipts
received
in
connection
with
programs
reported
by
the
fund.
C
Expenditures
may
be
made
without
further
appropriation,
but
cannot
exceed
the
balance
of
the
fund,
who
are
the
total
authorized
expenditure
without
further
approval?
We
reviewed
FY
19
revolving
fund
authorizations
in
companion,
hearings
to
departmental
budget
hearings
on
April
23rd,
April,
24th,
May,
7th,
May,
14th
and
May
22nd.
This
year
we
review
the
following
revolving
funds.
One
managed
by
the
law
department
for
third
party
property
damages
one
managed
by
the
environmental
department
regarding
distributed
energy
credits.
C
Sorry,
revolving
funds
are
an
important
budgetary
tool
that
allows
departments
flexibility
in
managing
self-sustaining
programs
that
are
difficult
to
include
in
their
budget
due
to
their
intermittent
or
inconsistent
nature.
The
committee
is
formalized
and
standardized
this
process
by
developing
a
review
and
reporting
structure
that
takes
place
alongside
the
budget
process
to
allow
funds
to
be
considered
in
the
context
of
overall
departmental
budgets.
The
review
and
reporting
format
that
we
have
established
continues
to
improve
transparency
and
accountability
in
the
annual
review
and
authorization
of
these
funds
like
to.

C
You,
madam
president,
these
matters
represent
the
fiscal
year
nineteen
capital
budget
sponsored
by
the
mayor
and
refer
to
the
committee
again
on
April
11
2018.
As
you
know,
these
dockets
require
two

the
council
and
I
ask
rise
to
ask
for
the
first
reading.
Today.
The
projects
funded
by
the
FY
nineteen
capital
budget
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
quality
of
life
of
boston
residents.
They
maintain
and
improve
our
infrastructure,
enhance
our
mobility,
ensure
safety
and
provide
necessary
open
space
for
both
residents
and
visitors
to
enjoy
all
that.
C
Boston
has
to
offer
across
all
of
Boston's
neighborhoods
capital
projects
often
take
years
to
complete.
So
the
funding
that
we
are
proving
today
may
represent
only
a
portion
of
the
total
project
cost.
For
example,
my
beloved
Fanueil
library
has
an
authorization
of
one
1,750,000
this
year.
However,
the
total
project
cost
is
twelve
million
six
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
and
will
include
improved
accessibility,
interior
renovations
and
a
new
building
addition.

in

we

We'll
take
the
first
vote
today
and
we'll
take
them
separately,
and
each

these
requires
a

A
B
D
B
D
Jenny
of
the
floor,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
Thank
You
councillor
asabi
George
for
co-sponsoring
this
hearing.
Order
with
me.
I
also
want
to
commend
my
colleague
at
the
State
House
Rep
Liz
Mallya,
for
her
work
on
this
issue.
For
those
in
recovery
or
seeking
recovery,
sober
homes
can
be
vital,
often
required
as
a
condition
of
probation
or
to
get
custody
of
children.
It's
housing
for
those
who
want
stay
well
and
who
need
that
support
from
from
their
peers
or
services.
D
It's
designed
for
those
committed
to
sober
living
who
have
struggled
with
addiction
and
substance,
abuse,
disorder,
I'm,
appalled
and
outraged
as
I'm
sure
many
of
you
are
of
the
recent
situation
in
Roxbury
at
a
silver
home
where
the
owner
and
operated
was
arrested
for
just
appalling
things.
The
residents
there
in
the
surrounding
community
at
that
time,
when
that
sober
home
was
being
built,
was
told
that
these
would
be
townhouses.
D
Instead,
its
became
what
many
would
call
a
flophouse,
the
owner
of
that
property
is
accused
of
trading
drugs
and
sex
and
leap
for
legal
representation,
drugs
and
legal
representation
for
sex.
It's
an
abuse
of
trust.
It
is
an
example
of
a
bad
player,
who's
preying
on
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
and
who
is
profiting
off
of
substance
addiction
of
these
residents.
It's
shameful
and
it's
outrageous,
and
it
should
not
be
tolerated.
We
must
ensure
that
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
and
those
who
are
seeking
help
are
not
abused.
D
Residents
of
sober
homes
are
not
always
receiving
the
proper
supports
and
too
often
they're
not
receiving
the
services
that
they
need
to
stay
well.
Residents
of
silver
homes
must
be
able
to
voice
their
complaints
about
their
conditions
without
fear
of
retribution
and
recovery
programs
need
to
be
confident
in
the
safety
and
accommodations
when
they
are
referring.
Clients,
I
have
long
heard
the
complaints
and
concerns
from
residents
from
neighborhood
groups
about
sober
homes
in
my
district,
but
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
residents
understand
the
importance
of
the
these
sober
homes
in
our
community.
D
This
is
not
an
issue
of
NIMBY,
but
what
it
is
it's
an
issue
of
equity
and
we
must
all
do
our
part.
We
know
that
the
the
few
that
are
certified
are
clustered
primarily
in
Dorchester
and
Roxbury
and
in
communities
of
color,
even
though
addiction
knows
no
color
or
no
neighborhood
boundary
with
those
that
are
not
certified,
it's
almost
impossible
to
know
where
they're
located,
whether
or
not
they're
safe
havens
or
whether
they're
hell
houses.
D
F
I
think
that's
that
really
captures
the
essence
of
what's
happening
in
some
of
these
situations,
that
these
experiences
can
completely
derail
recovery
for
some
that
are
maybe
the
most
motivated
to
find
recovery.
It
could
and
it
can
really
derail
them
and
real
safe
havens.
As
councillor
Cheney
referred
to
them,
the
real
sober
living
homes,
experiences
that
are
supportive
that
are
helping
individuals
in
attempting
to
find
recovery
live
a
lifetime
of
recovery.
F
That's
what
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
towards
and
when
the
Massachusetts
alliance
of
sober
housing
has
170
100
67
houses
certified
and
only
two
of
them
are
in
the
City
of
Boston,
and
it
really
has
you
know
very
clearly.
We
have
work
to
do
here
in
the
city
and
we
have
so
much
to
do,
especially
in
those
neighborhoods,
where
it's
highly
concentrated,
Roxbury
Dorchester
in
Mattapan,
but
across
the
city.
F
It's
so
important
that
these
efforts
that
were
working
towards
as
a
city
that
we're
doing
together
to
protect
individuals
to
protect,
neighborhoods
and
ensure
that
the
services
that
are
provided
to
those
that
are
looking
for
a
lifetime
of
recovery
are
able
to
find
that
recovery
in
a
meaningful,
healthy,
safe,
supportive
way,
and
it
is
the
only
way
that
we
can
get
out
of
this
crisis.
It's
the
only
way
that
we
can
find
solutions
to
to
the
chaos
that
that
individuals
are
facing
and-
and
this
isn't
new
to
us,
I
think
as
a
body.
F
This
isn't
new
to
us.
Work
has
been
done
over
the
years
to
create
more
safe
living
opportunities
for
for
those
that
are
struggling
so
I.
Look
forward
to
this
work
ahead.
I
look
forward
to
partnership,
not
just
with
all
of
you,
but
to
the
office
of
recovery
services,
as
well
as
our
partners
at
the
state
level,
as
well
as
our
surrounding
cities
and
towns,
their
support
and
help
in
this
work.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Thank.
B
You
councillor
asabi
George,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor
co-moh
councillor
Flaherty
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
McCarthy,
councillor,
Malley,
councillor,
Presley,
council
councillors,
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair
daki
at
zero.
Eight
five
one
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery.
B
B
It's
a
Boston
based
nonprofit,
it's
a
social
venture
that
was
founded
in
2012
with
the
goal
of
advancing
Latino
leaders
across
various
industries
in
the
Commonwealth
in
2017
this
organization
launched,
what's
called
amplify,
Latin
X,
it's
a
nonpartisan
collaborative
movement
focused
significantly
significantly
on
increasing
Latino
civic
engagement
and
representation
in
elected
positions.
Appointed
positions,
boards
commissions,
they've
done
incredible.
Work
so
far
have
held
a
couple
of
conferences
and
civic
engagement,
trainings
that
have
pulled
in
hundreds
of
leaders
as
well
as
thousands
of
participants.
They
are
always
looking
for
funding.
B
We
know
that
Latinos
are
the
fastest
growing
demographic
in
Massachusetts,
representing
over
11
percent
of
the
population
and
20
percent
of
Boston's
residents,
the
fastest
growing
here
as
well,
and
so
this
group
has
been
working
with
folks
in
the
city
as
well
as
folks,
at
the
Statehouse
and
in
private
sector
to
end
philanthropy
to
find
funding.
Rob
Sanchez
filed
an
amendment
to
the
House
of
Representatives
FY
19
budget,
putting
aside
an
earmark
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
this
group
and
for
this
work,
and
so
we're
standing
with
him
and
others
to
say.
B
We
support
this,
given
the
districts
in
the
city
that
we
represent,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
my
colleague
signing
on
in
supporting
this
work
as
well.
I
think
there's
a
possibility
if
we
show
our
support
that
this
can
actually
happen
for
these
folks,
who
are
doing
incredible
work
so
Thank
You
councillor
soon.
Thank
you
again
to
councillor
Edwards,
who
is
homesick
and
hopefully
not
watching
this
Thank.
G
G
It
is
critical
that
we
continue
to
develop
a
Latino
leaders
and
to
ensure
our
future
Latino
leaders
have
all
the
services
in
opportunities
to
be
to
be
successful:
mentoring,
o
young
lee
young
students,
partnering
with
Latino
youth,
creating
opportunities,
education
in
training
for
Latino
youth,
as
well
as
someone
who
represents
a
large
Latino
population
in
Boston
I,
also
have
seen
the
hard
work
drive
determination
of
those
in
the
Latino
community
I'm
proud
to
join
Council
Campbell
I'm,
proud
to
join
Council
Edwards
on
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
F
This
is
a
celebration
of
that
effort
and
a
really
special
group
that
is
using
power
in
such
a
special
way
in
productive
way
in
positive
way
and
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
thinking
the
cofounders,
because
without
without
their
foresight,
without
their
desire
to
move
this
forward,
we
wouldn't
be
here,
and
obviously
thank
chairman
Sanchez
for
his
effort
at
the
state
level
for
this
funding.
Thank
you
thank.
F
C
H
Mr.
chair
just
buy
rice
to
have
my
name
in
it,
but
also
want
to
recognize
the
great
work
that
the
council's
own
Juan
Lopez
does
on
these
issues
as
both
a
local
statewide
and
national
leader
for
LULAC.
He
really
sets
the
bar
he's
been
out
on
the
forefront
of
these
very
issues
and
so
we're
in
a
great
position
in
place,
because
we
have
him
as
part
of
the
city
council,
but
this
sort
of
serves
us
to
I.
C
B
B
C
B
B
Additionally,
on
supports
for
high
school
and
students
who
fall
into
this
category,
we
all
know
that
Boston
has
the
highest
per
pupil
spending
of
the
nation's
a
hundred
hundreds
biggest
school
districts
with
over
22,000
per
pupil,
so
I.
For
me,
this
says
that
resources
alone
won't.
Do
it
I
think
there
are
numerous
resources
in
bps?
The
question
is
how
we
spending
the
money
and
where
are
we
spending
it,
and
are
we
directing
them
to
the
programs
that
are
working
and
to
the
people
that
need
it,
the
most,
particularly
at
the
school
level?
B
B
That's
a
problem,
particularly
when
majority
of
these
students
are
students
of
color
coming
from
across
the
city
of
Boston,
but
particularly
certain
districts,
including
my
own
I,
think
this
is
an
opportunity
to
have
a
conversation,
not
just
with
Boston
Public
Schools,
and
not
just
in
partnership
with
my
colleagues,
the
chair
of
the
Education
Committee
councilor
sabe
George,
and
the
vice
chair
of
the
Education
Committee
councillor
Janie,
but
the
teachers
union.
There
are
many
teachers
who
saw
this
report
who
work
in
our
high
schools
who
are
interested.
In
being
a
part
of
this
conversation.
B
B
So
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
mayor
and
Boston
Public
Schools,
to
make
sure
one
at
this
report
doesn't
just
end
up
on
a
file
cabinet
gathering
dust
that
we
take
it
seriously,
that
we
do
something
with
it
and
that
we
put
up
a
mirror
and
acknowledge
what
we
have
done
that
is
working
and
what
we
were
doing
that
isn't
working
and
look
to
do
something
different
in
a
short
timeframe.
Our
students
can't
wait
any
longer,
particularly
our
high
school
students,
and
one
thing
I
will
add.
B
That
was
very
depressing
about
this
report.
We
have
students
who
are
off-track
in
the
eighth
grade
and
showing
all
kinds
of
signs
of
being
off-track
not
being
able
to
read
and
write
at
the
level
in
which
is
appropriate
for
their
grade
level.
What's
worse,
is
we
have
students
who
are
on
track
graduating
from
middle
school,
going
into
high
school
and
then
becoming
off-track
once
they
hit
our
high
schools?
That's
a
problem
as
a
graduate
of
Boston
Latin
School.
B
B
We
have
models
within
our
state
within
our
Commonwealth,
of
course,
within
the
country,
so
I
absolutely
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues,
councillor
Janie
and
counselor
sabi
George
and
the
rest
of
you
who
have
been
talking
about
these
issues
for
a
very
long
time
and
I
know
are
passionate
about
making
sure
that
our
students
have
access
to
programming.
That
would
not
only
prepare
them
to
go
out
to
the
world,
but
even
for
the
new
jobs
and
new
industries
that
are
coming
online
in
stem
in
other
areas.
F
You,
mr.
vice
chair
and
Thank
You
councillor
Campbell,
for
suspending
rules
and
adding
myself
and
councillor
Jeannie.
This
is
no
doubt,
especially
as
a
former
high
school
teacher.
There
are
no
doubt
concerns
that
we
have
within
the
district
about
student
success
and
missing
a
number
of
kids
and
that
number
of
3,400
is
of
the
high
school
population.
So
it's
a
that's
a
dramatic
enough
number
that
we
need
to
be
focused
on
this
work.
F
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that,
during
this
hearing
that
we
took
take
a
look
at
that
study,
that
was
that
was
put
together
and
funded
through
the
bar
foundation,
because
some
of
the
plate
left
off
some
really
important
pieces
that
we
also
need
to
look
at
in
order
to
measure
student
success
and
the
work
that's
happening
in
our
schools.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
also
looking
at
attendance
and
tidiness.
F
This
came
up
in
some
of
our
budget
hearings,
the
importance
of
kids,
obviously
being
in
school
in
the
relation
to
their
opportunity
to
succeed
as
well
as
tardiness
and
the
impact
that
has
on
student
success.
I
also
think
as
a
city
and
certainly
as
a
district,
we
need
to
do
a
much
better
job
engaging
with
families,
because
a
student
is
in
high
school
doesn't
mean
that
it's
time
to
disengage
and
disconnect
from
the
family
experience
as
well
as
the
community
experience.
So
it's
frustrating
when
we
know
so
much
of
what's
missing.
F
We
have
lots
of
work
to
do.
We
need
to
do
this
in
partnership
with
lots
of
different
people,
including
the
kids,
including
the
schools
and
those
that
are
delivering
the
direct
services
and
those
that
are
supporting
that
work,
be
it
family
or
community.
So
I
look
forward
to
this
hearing.
I
look
forward
to
this
hearing
happening
soon,
so
that,
as
we
wrap
up
this
school
year
and
prepare
for
the
next
school
year
that
we're
doing
it
with
more
excitement
with
more
positive
energy
and
certainly
with
more
support
for
our
kids.
Thank
you
great.
D
Mr.
chair
and
thank
you
councillor
Campbell
for
leading
this
effort
and
for
your
sense
of
urgency,
certainly
want
to
acknowledge
and
thank
councillor,
asabi
George
for
her
leadership
as
the
chair
of
the
Education
Committee.
For
me,
this
issue
certainly
very
urgent,
very
important
as
an
education
advocate
just
having
seen
what
bebe
has
BPS
has
done
over
the
years
and
what
has
not
been
done
over
the
years.
I
remember
when
we
had
high
school
renewal
before
us
and
the
schools
were
broken
down.
D
The
high
schools
are
broken
down
into
small
learning,
communities
and
small
schools
as
a
way
at
getting
at
this
same
very
issue.
We
don't
take
the
time
that
we
need
to
kind
of
stop
and
reflect
and
learn
from
these
different
initiatives.
We
just
kind
of
move
on
to
the
next
initiative.
We
moved
on
to
turnaround
schools.
Next,
we
often
leave
out
of
the
conversation
our
young
people,
who
are
most
impacted.
D
We
don't
acknowledge
enough
that
opportunity
gaps
happen
long
before
our
children
even
enter
our
schools,
that
our
children
are
tracked
from
a
very
early
age
that
we
have
too
many
black
and
Latino
students,
particularly
boys
and
sub,
separate
special
education
and
we're
not
dealing
with
them.
We
have
other
students
that
are
in
advance
work,
other
students
and
excellence
for
all.
We've
got
all
of
these
initiatives,
but
still
we
have
this
very
persistent
problem,
and
so
you
know,
in
addition
to
be
being
a
long
time,
education
advocate
I,
just
think
about
being
a
bps
parent
myself.
D
My
daughter
was
in
high
school
and
how
difficult
it
was
to
find
the
right
school
community
for
her.
She
actually
went
to
four
different
high
schools
before
graduating
one
as
a
freshman
year,
one
as
a
sophomore
one
for
her
junior
year
and
then
another
school
as
a
senior,
and
it
is
quite
frustrating
it's
very
hard
for
our
parents
and
for
our
young
people.
We
need
to
do
much
more
around
making
sure
our
schools
are
trauma-informed
and
so
I.
D
Very
much
look
forward
to
having
this
hearing
and
working
in
partnership
with
counselor
Campbell
and
counselor
asabi
George,
as
well
as
my
colleagues
here
and
those
in
bps,
but
especially
our
young
people,
our
parents
and
our
teachers,
and
so
thank
you
again
and
thank
you.
I
hope
you
will
all
join
us
in
this
effort.
Thank.

Docket
number

sponsored
by
the
mere

in
order
to
amend
the
city
of
Boston,
cold

to
Committee
on

There
was
a
hearing
on
June

and
it
is
now
properly
before
the
body
we're.
H
Thank
You
members
Thank
You
minute
doc
at
zero
five,
six
six,
it's
an
ordinance
amending
the
city,
Boston
Code,
to
update
the
fine
schedule
for
specific
categories
of
violations,
as
well
as
creates
a
new
category
of
violation
for
overnight
street
sweeping,
which
will
be
designated
as
a
no
toe
violation
based
on
the
information
that
was
provided.
The
hearing
on
Friday
May,
the
11th,
as
well
as
conversations
with
small
business
owners
docket
zero.
H
Five
six
six
will
be
amended
in
Section
two
in
section
3
of
the
ordinance
which
the
section
lays
out
the
fee
structure
related
to
double
parking
with
both
zone
a
and
zone
D
the
fee
for
parking
within
zone
a
will
be
55
and
the
fee
for
parking
within
zone
B
will
be
35.
These
changes
I
put
forth
to
ensure
that
the
fee
increases
will
not
overly
an
overly
be
overly
burdensome
to
residents
and
small
local
businesses
at
the
same
time
ensuring
safe
driving
behavior.
H
I
H
My
colleague
so
the
it'll
be
a
$90
fee,
no
toe
and
it'll
be
the
posted
12:01
a.m.
till
till
the
morning,
8
7
7
a.m.
12:00
or
1:00
a.m.
in
an
effort
to
get
the
street
sweepers
to
the
curb,
obviously
curb
behavior,
with
respect
to
people
parking
where
street
cleaning
is
occurring
in
an
exchange
for
so
the
overly
aggressive
towing
which
this
city
has
has
experienced.
H
H
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
given
that
you
know
when
this
has
been
brought
up
in
the
past.
I've
heard
from
many
both
in
the
business
community
and
residential
community
in
my
district,
particularly
in
Beacon
Hill
and
Back
Bay
around
the
desire
to
maintain
overnight
towing
when
for
street
cleaning,
particularly
around
Charles
Street,
Commonwealth,
Avenue,
Beacon
Street.
You
know
with
that
provision
in
there
I
will
be
voting
against
this
I
do
think.
The
other
changes
are
many
of
you,
they'll
change,
their
long
overdue
to
improve
safety
and
obviously
capture
some
revenue
for
need.
I
B
D
So,
thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
I
would
just
say:
I
certainly
appreciate
the
lower
fees,
so
I
I
think
this
is
a
big
concern
for
me
in
my
district
and
that
my
district
will
be
hit
hard
by
these
higher
fees
and
I
think
also
with
the
overnight.
Oh
I
certainly
get
a
lot
of
complaints.
There
I
think
moving
forward
it'll
be
very
important
to
follow
this
closely,
to
ensure
that
there's
equity
throughout
the
city,
so
I
just
wanted
to
go
on
the
record
I'm
saying
that
so
Thank
You
mr.
chair
Thank,.
H
Now
there
was
a
big
concern:
council,
jana
gana
had
a
hearing
out
in
her
neighborhood
that
council
who
and
I
had
attended
in.
We
heard
the
folks
in
her
district
loud
and
clear
that
they
want
an
opportunity
to
have
more
parking
turnover,
particularly
in
the
small
local
business
districts,
to
encourage
more
businesses
to
commit
to
going
there,
but
also
to
provide
opportunities
for
patrons
to
shop
there.
And
it's
sort
of
a
it's
I.
Guess
it's
a
we're
trying
to
we're
dealing
with
two
issues
with
obviously
dealing
with
driver
and
pedestrian
and
cycle
safety.
H
At
the
same
time,
we're
trying
to
listen
to
the
small
local
businesses
that
are
the
lifeline
of
our
neighborhoods
they're.
Also
on
the
back
of
a
lot
of
the
shirts
at
the
softball
program,
with
the
Little
League
at
the
youth
hockey,
the
LaCrosse
at
the
C
was
the
basketballs
and
so
we're
trying
to
be
fair
and
be
reasonable.
Recognizing
that
there's
a
need
to
increase
the
categories
at
the
same
time,
we
don't
want
to
be
punitive.
H
Well,
the
testimony
we've
heard
hearing
listening
to
the
plea
of
small
business
owners,
but
also
listening
to
our
colleagues
in
terms
of
how
the
neighborhood
breakdown
is
happening.
Where
are
the
fines
occurring?
Where
is
where
is
the
revenue
being
generated,
and
so
it's
all
very
clear
point
and
I
think
that
this
sort
of
strikes
that
balance
with
the
administration
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Flaherty
and
thank
you
for
further
clarification,
particularly
for
obviously
the
public.
At
this
time.
Councillor
Flaherty,
who
is
a
chairman
of
the
committee
on
government
operations,
recommends
acceptance
of
the
committee
report
in
passage
of
docket
zero.
Five,
six
six
in
this
new
draft
I'm,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
docket
six
six
has
been
passed
in
a
new
draft.
B
Moving
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
There
are
zero
late
file
matters
for
the
consent
agenda.
The
chair
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted
before
we
move
on
to
memorials
and
close
out.
Our
meeting
I
just
had
to
quickly
acknowledge
I
thought
you
guys
would
find
this
funny.
I
always
like
to
acknowledge
young
people
who
are
obviously
in
our
chamber
and
who
participate
in
our
meeting.
B
So
I
happened
to
look
up
and
I
saw
some
younger
folk
in
the
chamber
and
come
to
find
out
they're
all
I,
think
interns
in
counselor
Woo's
office
so
welcome
and
welcome
to
Boston,
City
Hall
and
welcome
to
the
council.
And
may
you
work
hard
over
the
summer
for
councillor
Wu,
but
I
thought
that
was
funny
because
they
took
a
row.
So
thank
you
guys
for
allowing
me
to
say
that
at
this
time
I
asked
my
colleagues
all
guests
and
staff
to
please
rise.
Oh
I
apologize
councillor,
sabi
George.
F
F
It
was
his
name
and
it
was
a
rededication
and
the
reason
I
wanted
to
was
it
was
a
very
we
I
think
all
participated
and
some
larger
neighborhood
events
very
small
private,
few
neighbors
and
family
members,
a
rededication,
the
Office
of
Veterans
Affairs,
has
created
these
new
signs.
To
hang
that
have
one
of
those
I
think
I
forget
what
they're
called
rule
squares
cute.
What
are
they
younger?
You
know
the
QIO
squares
there.
F
You
could
skin
and
get
more
information
about
the
person
that
the
hero
square
is
named
in
honor
of,
but
you
know
a
member
of
commissioners
sterling
staff
Darrell
Miller
was
there
I
just
wanted
to
thank
him
for
his
effort
and
putting
the
day
together,
but
rosin
Dale
resident
Tom
Sullivan
is
who
invited
me.
Many
of
us
know
Tom.
He
is
a
graduate
of
Boston
tech
as
I'm.
A
graduate
of
Boston
tech,
that's
why
I
was
invited.
F
They
had
the
color
guide
from
the
John
Bo
Bryant
School
in
attendance
and
just
really
really
was
a
wonderful
opportunity.
Remember
one
of
our
fallen
for
many
years
ago,
but
that
rededication,
the
idea
that
we
don't
ever
forget
and
the
idea
that
we're
also
modernizing
some
of
our
hero
squares
was
just
really
special,
very
special
event,
but
because
it
was
so
small
and
so
private,
not
many
got
to
witness
it.
So
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
share
it
and
and
hope
that
we
all
had
similar
experiences
and
powerful
experiences
on
Memorial
Day.
B
Thank
You
councillor
sabi
George
for
attending,
but
also
thank
you
for
sharing
anyone
else
at
this
time.
I
would
like
all
guests,
and
my
colleagues
and
staff
to
please
rise
as
we
close
out
today's
meeting
in

moment
